Latest updates for Dead Down Under

So a few things have gone on with the famed "Oz Zom Rom Com" since I last posted.

For one, the film now has a Facebook page and a Facebook group.

Also - I'll post some images on this page, that have been released, from the "post production" process.

The IMdb page has been created - however, updating my details on it have proved technically problematic, so far... more updates to follow.

The official trailer has been released - along with a few other "teaser" vids:

• Crooks Canyon Reel
• The "Mission Statement"
• Crooks Canyon Reel 2
• Skylab KGB Report

Now I'm just looking forward to the final result, so we can start showing it off.

Finished filming - on to post

Finished filming for Dead Down Under this week.



They seem to have released a MySpace page for it too.

Going into "post-prod" for the next few months - ADR and all that... :-)

Almost at the end - should have a finished product by July. More images from the set and tasty teasers coming soon.

Zombies Ahead

See video: road signs warn of Zombies ahead.

A special thanks to Tamara Dean and Christine Sams for covering the day.

All Grown Up

Nicholas was interviewed recently for a piece in Sunday Life (the Sydney Morning Herald) about Kate Ritchie and the experience of being a "child star".

Here is the article.

It also mentions the upcoming filming of Dead Down Under - and Christine Sams has agreed to come and do a feature piece on the filming of the movie.

It has also become clear that we're going to be working with Rotten Tomatoes on a "viral" campaign for the movie... perhaps I should stop putting up news releases about it. :-)

For more details of the Dead Down Under project, see here.

New Film Role - Dead Down Under

Nicholas has been offered a role in the new independent feature, "Dead Down Under" - playing Carlisle.

Carlisle is an AV technology expert. He is part of the documentary crew that goes to Australia, some years after it has been quarantined, as a result of the release of the Z-Virus, in the Asia Pacific region. The documentary crew have been told there are signs of survivors in, the otherwise baron, Australia.

They leave for Australia expecting anything... but what they find there - no one could have predicted.

Filming starts in January. Further details will be released as they come to light.


From the blurb

Dead Down Under is an independent Australian film currently in pre-production. A modern horror/comedy inspired by George Romero , Peter Jackson and Australian films such as The Castle. The film is based on a short film by Scott Sowter of the same name and aims to bring an Australian suburban flavour to the horror/comedy canon.
